Left or right tilt tablesaw?

Well, I am upgrading to a cabinet saw for various reasons and leaning towards the Left tilt. Peanut butter oth is definately smooth for me and can sometimes affect the toilet paper issue....

Thanks!

Okay but if I do that for each brand, how much will it cost me?

I did not rip a bevel on the RHT saw, but have on the LHT. Easy. Just like a 90 cut.

It seems to me if you moved the fence to the other side of the saw blade, you'd now need to push through with your left hand and put pressure into the fence with your right. Of course you could always use a featherboard...

Then again, in the last year, I can count on one hand the number of beveled rip cuts I've made on my table saw.

Have fun at the Grizzly show room!

Stay Safe

If you mount it that way, the cats unroll it. I'm with you on the peanut butter though.

Maybe the cold medicine is dulling my brain (likely) but if a Right Tilt saw had the extension table on the left side, wouldn't bevels be safe to cut?

Then the stacking dado thing, would that not work out okay also?

Yes, that's what I do.

I think far too much is made of this phenomena. I recently switched to RT on a vintage Unisaw after 30 years of LT on my faithfull Craftsman. Mox Nix, it means nothing, can you say... transparent after the first or second bevel cut? And then... how often are you beveling anyway?
